The common Merry companion from the Fellowship of the Ring base set is the first indication of Merry's bravery as a fighter over his Hobbit friends. While bearing a Hand Weapon, Merry, From O'er the Brandywine receives an additional strength +2 bonus, making Merry bearing a Hobbit Sword a respectable strength 7 and bearing a Frying Pan strength 6. Future set releases like Merry's Sword or Merry's Dagger and Horn of the Mark can make this fighter a strength 8, vitality 4 stalwart with access to [Shire] stealth events that can dodge the largest minions. Merry's Armor and Everyone Knows provide further strength bonuses. | The common Merry companion from the Fellowship of the Ring base set is the first indication of Merry's bravery as a fighter over his Hobbit friends.
